Add module-info to the project

[Liam Wynn]

Hi all,

Forgive me for the stupid question, but just so I understand: asmtools
essentially supports *up to* JDK 8, and no further? I only ask since it
would be relevant to the documentation (which as I understand it, has not
been updated since JDK 9 came out).

All the best,
- Liam
